Mayara Magri

Brazilian actress in films and TV. Her first role was on the television series "The Adolescents," 1981. Since that time, she has appeared in a number of shows including "John Baptist of Andrade," "My Kisses," and "Fire Wheel." One of three children born to Mario and Ruth Magri, her stubbornness and determination were obvious from the moment she was born. She cried almost nonstop for her first year of life, although doctors said there was nothing physically wrong. Her siblings are Marine and Marcia. Until she turned eleven, she was extremely shy, but after she discovered the theater, she became more outgoing. Consumed by her passion for acting, she started an amateur group but a lack of funding kept her from achieving her goals. Her family was completely supportive, and at age 16, she decided to enter an acting competition, which she won. Soon thereafter, she headed for Sao Paulo to study in the EAD/USP. Read less
